Hiya! How's it going? The last chapter was a filler for the record. Expect a lot of those because my mind makes up tons of Midori and Team 7 crap.

You know, I never thought I'd get this far in writing the fanfic.

Summery: A new girl joins team 7 with a unique bloodline ability to summon dragons. But something is stopping her from using the ability, and she must learn to use it before a war breaks out. Emotions grow between the team, mainly between Sasuke and the new girl. Is it love, hate, or something in between? Read to find out... OC X Sasuke?

Disclaimers: I don't own Naruto, Nabisco Oreos, anything else you happen to find.

Chapter 4

Oreos and Trust

"I'm tired of this!" Midori burst into the Hokage's office throwing the doors open unceremoniously "How longdo I have to hold out?"

"Not long." Hokage answered from his desk as he looked up from a pile of papers "But depends on what you want."

"Hokage-sama, we're sorry that Miss. Leikomara got past us--" a Jounin said from the door catching his breath, with a hint of aggravation toward the teenager.

"It is alright, I have business to discuss with Midori." Hokage motioning it all right for Midori to be here. The Jounin slammed the doors a bit harder than necessary as Midori marched up to Hokage's desk as he questioned "Now, what's the problem?"

"YOU DON'T KNOW!" Midori all but roared at the Hokage. She had stopped in her place at the Hokage's desk. Her mind went into shock as she took a few steps back He forgot….. "You FORGOT?" she blurted out not even bothering to keep her thoughts silent.

"What did I forget?" Hokage was confused on what she was talking about until it hit him a couple seconds later. Oh, yes…..that.

"It's one of the reasons I stayed in Konoha." Midori gritted her teeth as she hinted at her reason. She crossed her arms and her fingers tapped on her skin "One of the most important things I need……""I told you to give it time." The Hokage waved his hand in irritation as he tried to put to rest the girl's temper, not that this was any help "You need to need to learn to be patient with these things, they don't come immediately when you want them too."

"I could have used the boost in a few battles." Midori said stubbornly, surprisingly Hokage's tactics were working

"I'm sure you could have." Hokage said motioning to the chair "Take a seat."

"It made me lose to Sasuke-san." Miodori said looking at the Hokage, completely disregarding the request to sit "THAT's how bad I need it."

"Your learning to work around it." Hokage said "Your making it sound like this is my fault in someway."

"Have you forgotten what you've done?" Midori took a seat in front of the Hokage's desk and pulled out 3 empty cookie containers from one of her side pouches and slammed them on the desk "YOU ATE ALL MY OREO'S DAMN IT! YOU STILL HAVEN'T BOUGHT ME MORE!" (A/N: Seriously, that's like a criminal offence or something sometimes. E/N: ZOMG, IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE. It is one of the most ingenious things Nabisco has ever created !1111:O ) She had to hold back as hard as possible to sound like she wasn't sniffling, or at most, WHINING.

Hokage sighed and reached into his bottom desk drawer. He pulled out three packages of Uh Oh Oreos and placed them in front of Midori.

"This is what I owe you." Hokage said gesturing to the oreos. Midori's eyes lit up. (E/N: YARRR! Chocolate is my crack. Well, actually, no it isn't, but it R0xors! A/N: Ok……sure)

"Thank you Hokage-sama!" Midori smiled and grabbed the boxes. She ripped open the first package and started chomping on them.

Hokage pulled out his own box of normal oreos and started eating with her. He smiled that Midori's attitude had mellowed out so quickly. "Tell me, how is being on Kakashi's team been?" (E/N: Dude, she's acting like L from Death Note. Not that I mind... :3 HANDS OFF THE YUMMEH THANGS BIATCH! A/N: I don't read Death Note, nor do I know who 'L' is, but apparently it's a good thing, so I'll live with it.)

"Pretty good." Midori said between oreos "Sasuke-san is a jerk, Sakura-chan is……okay…., and Naruto-san is really fun to be with. He's an idiot at times, but that's what makes it fun. I really like that I can be with Uncle Kakashi now."

"I thought you would. Have to learned anything from Kakashi?" Hokage watched as Midori took the two unopened boxes of Oreos and put them beside her.

"Yeah, did you know that Rikamaru-sensei taught me to do everything the hard way!" Midori returned to her now half empty box of Uh Oh Ores. " I mean that old fart told us to make sleeping powder with the steams of the plants on them. Kakashi showed me that if I took them off, not only will the powder be easier to grind, it will be twice as effective!"

"I know that, but it was a good way for all three of you to learn to use thing wisely." Hokage said getting down to his few last oreos "If thing were simple to make, you would have never to use objects and moves wisely. You would have just made more and used it unnecessarily. He always emphasized wisdom in battle."

"I know." Midori said swallowing her oreo " He also emphasized trust, love, courage and heart. It was like Gai and youth, you couldn't get him to shut up about it."(E/N: The SPANDEX MAN:D)

"He was crazy about those things." Hokage smiled as he remembered the young man who used to teach her those things.

"Crazy in a psychotic way." Midori picked up the empty containers and dumping them in the trash can. "Say, when bloodline ability going to kick in?"

"Sometime soon I hope." Sandaime said watching the girl "Is there nothing else you have learned from Kakashi?"

"He's helping me improve my Taijutsu." Midori took a seat again "With out any weapons."

"Good. That's your weakest point." He smiled at the girl. She really was growing fast in Konoha than anywhere else.

"God, don't I know it." Midori said "You can't exactly train properly roaming around the world for 6 years. It's not like you were ever there to train me, and my old team didn't last very long."

"What is there to teach you Midori? There is nothing you can't learn as time passes." Hokage was hoping he could avoid the argument off all the jutsu Midori wanted to learn from him.

"You could teach me Kage Bunshin, you know, the move I wanted to learn." Midori hinted about the jutsu. "Among others."

"That is a forbidden Jutsu from the Hokage's before me, just like all the other ones you wish to learn." Sandaime automatically responded

"Naruto knows it." Midori said trying to find away around Midori's usual losing argument about this topic.

"Naruto stole the scroll that held it and learned it without permission." The Hokage said to her

"So, what do I have to do? Steal the scroll?" Because I will if I have too Midori asked "You know my clones don't cut the cake anymore Hokage-sama."

"You still will not learn Kage Bunshin."

"I'm capable of learning it!" Midori shouted "I mean, you said I was gifted, not to mention you still owe me for telling how my bloodline ability works!"

"You will not learn Kage Bunshin. You only learn it when you become a jounin." Hokage eased up, this time he actually said when he was going to teach her those moves. He had no original intention of ever teacher her those moves.

"A JOUNIN!" Midori shouted in surprised "How do you know I'll even live that long to receive the title! You didn't guarantee me that I'd live this long to receive the title of genin!"

"You grew from Rikamaru's teaching's. I saw hope for your life with him."

"I know that, but he's dead now." Midori looked away partly in shame, then gathered herself together to look back "Are you saying I'm going to die without my old sensei to teach me? My uncle Kakashi is a much better sensei than Rikamaru ever was! Rikamaru tried to kill me when he betrayed is own team! I doubt that Kakashi-sensei will ever try to kill me!"

"You lost valuable abilities and parts of yourself when he died. You lost all hope of your bloodline ability activation that day. When gain all that back, then can learn Kage Bunshin. I assumed you would achieved that when you became a Jounin."

"What if I achieve that before I become a Jounin! What if I can active my bloodline ability with Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura by my side instead of Jaksa, Hamaru, and Rikamaru? Then will you give me the credit I deserve for Kage Bunshin!" Midori was desperate for that new move.

"If you can active your bloodline ability, I will teach the jutsu to you myself." Hokage said Your bloodline ability is the most important part of yourself you need to gain.

Midori pulled up her armguards to view the marking of her bloodline ability, the marking that taunted her every day and every night. She pulled the armguards back down and wrapped her the loose fabric around her arms, sealing it tightly with the red string.

"Fine. But will you at least tell me what I have to learn for me to use my bloodline ability?" Midori asked him

"Everything you need to learn is in your heart." Hokage knew he couldn't tell her. If he told her, she would over do it and possibly never get it.

"That's no help." She was close to saying 'bullshit', thought better of it. Midori got up, grabbed her oreos, and walked to the door. She stopped when she touched the door handle "I have to meet Kakashi and my team for our missions. I'll see you later Hokage-sama."

"Careful Midori." Hokage warned her as she opened the door "They're watching you again."

"You don't mean…." Midori went into shock at what he meant. Could they have found me already?

"Stay close to Kakashi and visit me regularly. They seem to run when they see us with you."

"Alright." Midori walked out the door and shut it behind her. She was damn ready to burst out in tears, if it wasn't for that stubborn as hell will of hers.I can't use my bloodline ability, I'll never learn Kage Bunshin, and they're after me. I'll be damned if I have to start traveling again. Then again, I may not have a choice. Midori stopped for a moment once she was outside and walking the streets. She looked over at a little girl worrying about her friends, who apperently gone missing. What will become of my friends?

Sandaime started at the close door for a moment or two You need to learn Trust, Love, Courage, Wisdom, and Heart, Midori. He thought shifting through some papers for that days work Once you learn all those again, you not have to live this terrorized life without your bloodline ability.

Midori walked up to her team, which included Kakashi, meaning that she had been THAT late. It wasn't fact that she left later than she expected from the Hokage, it was the fact she was lost in thought as she had walked down the roads. If Hokage hadn't sent an earlier message that Midori was going to be late, they would have left without her long ago.

She looked at her team, who had been waiting for her not so patiently in front of a ratty old building that had long since abandoned.

"Yo." Midori said in a small voiceonce she reached them

"YOUR LATE!" Sakura roared. Apparently Kakashi didn't want to tell them that she was going to be late.

"Sorry, I got lost on the road of life." Midori said taking one of Kakashi excuses she remembered off the top of her head. They don't need to know why I'm late this time….

"LIAR!" Sakura shouted at here "Your just like Kakashi-sensei."

"Whatever." Midori in hernearly soundless voice,looked at her uncle "What are we doing today?"

Something is up Sasuke thought Her? Late? She's never late. She's lacking emotion, and something is on her mind. She's nothing like the Midori I've come to know.

Sasuke kept a close eye on the distracted Midori as Kakashi lead them to they're training area. She didn't smile, nor have any emotion for that matter. Her eyes seemed empty, the glitter in them seemed to be gone. If Sasuke hadn't pulled her in the right direction every so often, she would have ran into a number of objects by now. The fact that she didn't react to him pulling at her to not run into object sent up a huge red flag for all of them.

They all took a seat at a river site after a few minutes of complete and utter silence, where a water fall crashed not too far off from were.

"Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Midori today you all practice ninjutsu." Kakashi said once they were comfortable for the most part "It's an important skill that all of you must practice. It make it fun, lets have it girls against boys."

Great, I get Sakura, can this day get any worse? Midori thought

I have to fight Sasuke-kun! The inner Sakura went into a frenzy

I get the dobe, and Midori still looks distracted. I might have an easy win. Sasuke thought

I have to work with Duck-butt. Greaaaaaaaaaaat Naruto thought. (A/N: Did I ever mention that I was extremely corrupted by my editor?) Midori was the only one who had enough gull to call Sasuke 'Duck-butt', and she only did it when she felt like teasing him. This, however didn't stop Naruto to think it ever so often.

10 minutes into the battle, Midori was knocked out of a tree by Naruto's Kage Bunshin, and just gave up entirely. Her aim and power of Water Tunnel no Jutsu was horrible, and all she could do was run from Sasuke and Naruto's attacks. Her mind was distracted the whole time by what the Hokage had told her.

"What's wrong with you Midori-chan? You don't seem yourself." Naruto was puzzled by her odd behavior.

Damn it, I'll just give up now! Midori thought as she slammed her fist in to the rocky river bed and got off the ground.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Midori called out to him "I give up! I need some time to think!"

Midori turned around and walked away into forest brush before she got her approval. She needed that time alone more than anything.

"What's with her?" Sakura asked as she jumped out of the tree

"I dunno. She looked really distracted ever since she got here." Naruto was confused as he gazed at the spot where she had disappeared.

"I know that baka!" Sakura smaked Naruto in the head "I want to know why!"

"Give her some space." Kakashi shuting the small orange pornographicbook "We'll go after her in a little while, if she doesn't come back in ten minutes. She may just come back on her own."

"But what's wrong with her?" Naruto shouted "Don't you care? Your her uncle!"

"Of course I care about her." Kakashi put away Come Come Paradise, being distracted by Midori himself."I spent a lifetime wither her mother, and that taught me enough to know that all girls need a lot of space when hit with emotional trauma."

"Emotional trauma?" Sakura shouted "What emotional trauma!" Is she emotionally traumatized by kissing Sasuke-kun! (A/N: That's a distinct possibility, but no.)

Somehow Midori had made her way to the top of the waterfall after 20 odd minutes of wandering. She didn't know how, but she had from her mindless wandering. Naruto had found her on the way up, and she assuredhim she was ok, lieing to him with nearly every word that came out of her mouth.

She dropped to her knees at the edge of the river turning waterfall and washed her face with the cold water. She looked over the cliff and saw a oddly shaped dot on a rock, also known asher uncle staring back at her.

"I'm fine." Midori whispered as she turned to the water.

Everything you need to learn is in your heart. Midori repeated the Hokage's words over and over in her head as she stared at her refection in the water What the hell does he mean!

Midori pulled her legs close to her face as she rested her head on her lap. She noticed her armguards still wrapped her arms and had no fabric hanging down. She touched the red string at thought about pulling it to reveal her bloodline makrings,when a voice came behind her.

"Leikomara Midori, come with me." It was unfamiliar and deep male voice. It's tone sounded edgey, and unwelcoming.

"I don't know you, and I don't care about what you want." Midori looked over her shoulder and saw out of the corner of her eye a man in a black robe"So please, go away."

"It is not a matter of what you want, Leikomara. You have to come with me, don't make me force you." He sounded rough and agitated now.

"Look jackass." Midori had enoughwith that, andgot up to face her threatener "Just get the fuck away from me!" Her heart nearly stopped when she saw the man, and took a few steps backwards.

The man was wearing a black wizard-like robe, and a black veil over his face. His mist head protector shined in the light with a swirl mark over emblem for mist. He had a large black shuriken in his hand that was attached to a chain. What scared Midori the most was the blue feathers all over his clothing, the same blue feathers that haunted Midori's dreams at night and made her run from Konoha for 6 years.

"KAKASHI!" Midori shouted far past the sound that normal lungs would create"MINZAKI!"

Kakashi's head shot around to where he hear the scream to see Midori standing on the edge of the cliffwhile a man in a black robes with the feathers walked close to her. He reconized it instantly as a Minzaki member, as a fear, rage, and protective instinct took control. Minzaki was team that wanted Midori dead or alive, and Kakashi would be damned if he let them take her.

"MIDORI!" Kakashi stood up and looked around for the quickest way up "Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Midori will do anything to escape that man, just watch her and tell her not to jump!"

Kakashi started to run up the hillside, he knew is he ran directly up, the nin would surely kill her or capture her. He wasn't going to lose his teammate,only niece, and last living memory of his sister.

"Midori-chan!" Naruto shouted.

"Midori-chan, don't jump!" Sakura shouted as Midori moved her foot next to the edge

Midori looked down at them with the fear and terror that plagued her. I'm not going to jump Midori thought But to escape them……..I'll do anything.

"Don't be foolish." The man said offering his hand walking closer "Come with me Midori. You know if you resist, you will die."

"And if I agree, I will also die." Midori's words shook with the same terror that had her "I won't die trying to escape." Midori stood still at her words as she wondered where Kakashi would be. Where the hell are you Kakashi?

"Who the hell is that?" Naruto asked while watching the guy come closer to Midori

"I don't know, but she's scared stiff of him." Sakura said looking at how Midori wasn't reaching for any weapons and backing up as the man got closer. Are those feathers on him?

Is that what your mind has been distracted about? Sasuke wondered as he wait for Kakashi to come out of the wood work Kakashi-sensei get act together and save her damn it!

Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw the man reach for a katana on his side. "MIDORI!"

Midori saw the edge of the blade of the sword and keptbacking up until she felt the dirt beneath her feet fall off the cliff. Her body paralized by fear, unable to make a counter-attack.

"The boss did say she wanted you alive." The man unsheathed his sword completely "But I guess I can call it a accident if I bring you back dead, after all, you're the one who resisted."

Midori gulped as he brought the tip of his sword to her neck drawing a little trickle of blood. Damn, I'm going to die, all because I'm too god damn scared to attack!

"MIDORI!" Sasuke started to runto the cliff, he gave up on Kakashi going to rescue her "MIDORI! JUMP!"

"Sasuke-baka are you crazy?" Naruto shouted at him "You trying to kill her? No one can catch her without killing themselves!"

"Sasuke-kun, you can't be serious!" Sakura pleaded with him "Reconsider that thought Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke didn't listen as hestood at the baseof the cliff"MIDORI! JUMP!"

"He won't catch you Midori." The man said running the blade down her throat, to make a larger cut. "You know it like we do. We're watching all three of you at all times."

Midori could see out of the corner of her eye Sasuke standing at the bottom. Will he really catch me? That doesn't sound like the Sasuke I know………

Does it matter? Her conscience asked her bitterly

I don't want to die knowing I caused my own death!

I know you don't want to die on the wrong end of a sword!

I don't have a choice, do I?

Nope, now trust Sasuke to catch you damn it!

Midori closed her eyes and fell backwards as she heard her uncle's voice come over her in a wave

"MIDORI!" Kakashi eyes couldn't believe it as he watched his own niece commit suicide to get away from her attacker. Kakashi felt shock and rage flow over him, causing him to grab his own wrist and summoned the most powerful Chidori he could produce. "You will pay for taking her away!"

Midori opened her eyes as she fell and saw the cliff she was standing on explode before her very eyes. I have to trust…….I have to trust Sasuke! She closed her eyes thinking Sasuke would catch her as she reaxed her body.

Two arms took her from her side and land on the ground holding her in whoever's arms. She opened her eyes to see Naruto and Sakura rushing to her.

Midori looked up in her rescuer's face to see Sasuke staring back at her. He put her on her own two feet as she stared at him. Is this what it's like……to trust someone with your life? To trust someone at all? Maybe I shouldn't care about metraveling...they might actrully try to stop me.

Midori quickly put two and two together as she saw a branch shaking as thought someone had jumped off of it. Sasuke had quickly ran up a tree, jumped from a branch, and caught Midori in midair, just to save her, at least, that what she thought.

"You alright?" Sasuke smirked at her "you Chidori causer?"

"Yeah I am." Midori smiled at him for the first time that day "Duck-butt. I didn't know you cared."

"I don't." Sasuke turned away from the girl."Youjust happen to be aScardy Catthat needed help."Somewhere deep in Sasuke's soul, underneath the revenge, the hate, the spite, and practically everything about him…………there was a microscopic part that was happy that she was smiling at him and called him Duck-Butt. This is the Midori I know Sasuke thought as the sparkle in her eyes glittered brightly.

"Midori-chan!" Naruto rushed to her and tackling her from behind

"Midori-chan!" Sakura shouted and paused for a moment before rushing to the girl's side What does Midori have that I don't Sasuke-kun?

"Naruto!" Midori exclaimed as she turned around in his arms. She felt Sakura hug her too. "Sakura, you too?" Midori laughed at her friends over excitement over her. "Hey! You guys are going to suffocate me!"

Midori felt herself being picked off the ground, released from her friends grip, and felt herself being whirled around in the air. She found her face being pressed against a comfy green vest and finally came to her senses once the spinning had stopped.

She's alright! Kakashi thought running his hand threw her brown hair She's alright! She's alive and safe in your arms.

"Where the hell were you!" Midori punched his vest once her feet touched the ground "You made me worry out of my mind whether I was going to live or die! Don't ever pull a stupid last minute hero trick! They're stupid and don't always work!"

"Fine. I won't do that as long as you stay close to me. I don't want that to happen again." Kakashi pulled down his mask for a moment, kissed her forehead, then pulled it quickly back up "You scared the hell out of me when you jumped."

"Hey, I trusted Sasuke to catch me." Midori smiled at her uncle. She looked at Sakura and Naruto who were in shock at the quick glance at Kakashi's face, but sadly, Midori's long bangs had covered anything up.

Damn her long hair. Sakura thought Wait...doesn't Sasuke-kun like girls with long hair? That hair will DIE!

She reminds my of Lenne more and more every day. Kakashi thought about his late sister as he held on to Midori. Beauty, a smile, and temps death with every chance she gets. Damn…….watching her grow up is going to really hard.

"Idiot." said a nin from the trees as he fled the team "That's what you get for disobaying the boss. Damn new people, they can't do anything right."

The nin got a save distance away and pulled out a cell phone. A number instantly dialed and someone picked up"Tell theBoss we have a hugeproblem."

"What? That idoit blew our cover?" said an angery female voice on the other side.

"That...and LeikomaraMidori is learning how to trust again."

Yeah, yeah, the OOC-ness I know. Write me a review/flame about it.

Something tells me after the first half of the story my editor just totally gave up on editing it. That lazycough err….I mean wonderful friend of mine. Anyways, my crack fic, Enough is Enough, is what I do until a certain someone edits my story. So if you see that updated, that just means I'm bored out of my mind.

E/N: I got lazy in the end, so SUE ME.

See! I told you.

REVIEW PLEASE!

Later, with much love,
